Hi Frank, Dave and Bern,
You may have seen a message on this topic, but just in case you haven't:
I have not found this bug in ESRI Support database, GDAL Bug or enhancement
lists or via Google Search.
I've noticed that ArcGIS Explorer 9.2 (AGX) creates image pyramid (.rrd)
and (.aux) files on image and elevation data in .tif format that
ArcGIS 9.2 and GDAL 2.2.6 can not read.
My recollection is that both ArcGIS and GDAL fail catastrophically
when they attempt to read these .rrd and .aux files.
Adding a layer to ArcMap that has an .rrd file that was created by
AGX causes ArcMap to fail.
GDAL data read .dlls and command line utilities fail when reading a
.tif file that has an .rrd file that was created by AGX.
I think that AGX overwrites .rrd files created by ArcGIS when AGX
loads data in .tif format, but I don't recall for certain what
happens in this case.
The attached Python script will delete .aux and .rrd files from a directory
structure recursively.
Thanks!
-Vince
